Society Has Deeper Issues Than Twinkie Job Loss Outrage!

I fully understand the tragedy of any job loss, but I have to admit that I am on the side of those potential lives saved by non-food products such as (FDA approved) Twinkies being less available!

While people are now reported as “Stock-piling” on these “treats”… I wonder if they are even aware that they are mourning over a major cause of diseases such as heart disease, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, and cancer?

With so many people now concerned with health insurance changes under ObamaCare, few are putting an emphasis on how to prevent these illnesses in the first place!

The fact that so many people are outraged over the loss of this product and job loss with no concern over the harmful ingredient in a product such as Twinkies, tells me that there is a bigger problem in our society!

With products such as Twinkies that contain known causes of serious health conditions including ADHD and obesity, is it any wonder that the sale of ADHD drugs have exponentially increased in the last few decades compounded by record-breaking obesity rates?

It was once rare that children were diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, however, it has now become a common occurrence and increasing at alarming rates. Many of these children are now even prescribed high blood pressure medication and even more disturbing is the latest trend of children as young as 3 years old taking drugs such as Lipitor.

Is it any wonder that “ health” insurance is a hot topic? It seems people are expected to be sick and if you are “considered healthy”…to whose or what standards, the FDA’s?

My general definition of healthy is being vibrant, well-rested, fluid in motion, pain-free, and drug-free.

Yet, sadly I know too many people who will proclaim that they are “very” healthy, while they list the prescription drugs they take for their diagnosed health issues. Furthermore, most people feel (even in the holistic community) that it is normal that people will “need” some sort of drug as they age.

But how does this all tie in with the aforementioned Twinkie? Well, let’s just take a look at what people are so upset about losing. The following is the list of ingredients in the ol’ mighty Twinkie:

And if that weren’t enough, how about the known carcinogenic ingredients:

Mono and Diglycerides

Polysorbate 60

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate

It has long been known that these ingredients cause tumors and other forms of cancer, yet instead of removing these ingredients scientists instead poured millions of tax payer’s dollars into finding the lowest amount of these dangerous chemicals that can be tolerated by the human body so as to claim that these additives are safe for consumption. But why should this be a surprise? Science has also known the cancer effect of cigarettes due to the carcinogenic chemicals that are added, but could you imagine the controversy if the cigarette companies would close down?

Next on the ingredient list is a recent hot topic: GMO Foods and both the known and UNKNOWN health effects of consuming genetically modified foods.

Modified Corn Starch

Cornstarch

This next one is a favorite of mine…The SECRET ingredients:

Natural and Artificial Flavors

Don’t you ever wonder what these “secret” ingredients really are? I don’t know about you, but I want to know what I am putting into my body and I want to decide for myself if it is a healthy or non-healthy choice.

It’s interesting to note that the precedence of not having to label every ingredient on products such as with “natural” or “artificial flavors” played a part in the recent controversy of whether GMO ingredients should be put on product labels. (Monsanto’s Mission To Pharmaceutically Enhance Foods)

If either of these two words is listed on any product, you should always be leery!

Real Food Never Contains Secret Ingredients!

And lastly, more additives that have been linked to hyperactivity in children (ADHD) and migraine headaches

Well, I for one am pleased that fewer Twinkies will be on the market and I long for the day that non-food items such as Twinkies will be nothing more than old folklore.

So regarding the 18, 500 now out of work, my heart is heavy for their job loss…but I have to be honest and say I hope this is the trend to come. I’ll take a heavy heart over a sick heart any day! After all, a job can be replaced…but without your health, you have nothing.
